An odd question

I was wondering how any of you handled magic negation.

I had a variant AD&D game, and had an enemy cast an Anti-Magic Shell. One player, who had shapeshifted into a bat and wanted to attack this round, was thinking of flying into the Sphere and landing, human, to attack.

How would you rule this? Does the magic just fade quickly, leaving you "normal"? Would a shapeshifted person be stuck in the new form (Polymorph Self) or instantly turn into their old form?

How do you deal with these situations? :)

The PC in question just landed behind the enemy, outside the Sphere. And then cast a new spell designed to deal with magic-resistant creatures - it merges several arrows into one arrow. If it hits a magic negation, then it splits back into several arrows. Usually as it enters into something. ;) The Anti-magic worked rather nicely and he rolled rather well to hit... we had an enemy pincushion. :) So I didn't have to worry about how quickly someone would change their form if dispelled from a shapechange. But I was wondering what you would do. :)
